I don't have a lot from them so far, either, but I also really like what I do have - and it's a decent range, with eyeliner, highlighter, glosses, eyeshadow, primer, under eye brightener...

Thanks hon! I'm glad to hear that! I do have Angel, picked it up about a month ago and it's still siting in it's box! I'll have to break it out this week.

Are we all ready for hauling this next week? I'm now on the fence, not sure what I'll get. maybe a sonic blush, an mes and call it a day. we'll see

You really need to get better soon... and if you don't, definitely go back to the Dr. this week.

As for hauling, I cannot wait! I'm really looking forward to Monday!

I'm not a big fan of Smashbox. I've tried out a few of their products over the years. Some of the shadows are really nice, but they're very hit and miss. I like that they have e/s trios in the round pots, very convenient.

I actually really like their glosses. I have a mini pout (amongst others) and I want the full size!

 

[gigglegirl]

did you guys read about the mineralize collection coming out this fall? BunnyBunnyBunny gave us what information he had available. Check it out: BunnyBunnyBunny post

so the 6 first mes being repromoted are:
Engaging <3
Earthly Riches meh
Family Silver want to take a look at it! I don't think i even swatched it
Heat/Element
Illusionary/Burning Ambition
Brightside/Gallery Gal

I so totally want to see swatches of the amuse mes being repromoted, because of course I wasn't into mac at that point. Yay!

Oh, sure now they repromote Heat/Element after I finally managed to find one (that wasn't being sold for an arm and a leg). Well, I'll be getting myself another one of those! Those original duos are so nice with wonderful color payoff and almost zip fallout. I've got all three listed, 2 of them practically untouched, but the Heat/Element duo has significant usage, so I'll definitely be getting another (I've actually got 4/5. The only duo I don't have is Persona/Screen Vinyl - the charcoal/white duo). The newer duos, meh, they're OK. I have Earthly Riches which I believe is by far the best of the bunch. Family Silver is really pretty, but I just don't wear silvers that much, so I kinda regret getting it. And Engaging was just sooo boring.

I'll try and get some swatches up for you tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled!!

I really hope they repromote the mineralize singles from Rococo. I have Whim, but I'd love to get a couple of the others. Can you believe that I bought Whim, but completely passed up on Pleasureflush?!?!?! Ahh, but back then I was just a mere dabbler in MAC and now I see the err of my ways, lol!

 

[KikiB]

I am so happy that Heat/Element is being repromoed since I am not about to pay an arm and a leg for a duo. The only things now I will do that for are the 2004 holiday palettes. I want those so badly.

As for hauling, I am holding off. I am not impressed with the MES duos and figure if anything, I might get one. The blushes, well I get better colour from using Helium and Pink Pearl together. I'd rather duochrome than tons of colour. I have three Colour Forms items on preorder, and I actually am trying to save money for once.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

Guys....

CantAffordMAC now has a car. aghhhhhhhhhh

Im really excited. 99 Ford Contour. It needs some work done to her appearance, but other than that she is a keeper. I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to get her legal and put her on the road....I need to go shopping for seat covers, steering wheel cover, and all kinda of other stuff to put inside..(if you guys know of any places online, that are inexpensive let me know!) I am going to spend the money and get her shampooed and like, cleaned. Cuz shes a little skanky right now. (we all have those moments don't we

)

But its MINE. paid for! m-i-n-e. Nobody can take her away. They'll have to kill me first!

Now this is more motivation to hurry up and get my license. Aghhhhhhhh! THATS IT! EVERYBODY GET DRESSED, MAMAS COMING TO PICK YOU ALL UP! ROAD TRIP

lol

 

[gigglegirl]

wow congratumufreakalations Rebecca---your own car! Awesome!!!

Karin you kill me! LOL its funny how we each gravitate and love certain colours (which is good, diversity makes the world go 'round) but Engaging is my absolute FAVE duo from antiquitease! it was my first backup EVER! keep in mind too, though, I've not seen amuse's ever.

now to another question, when the HECK ARE we going to get more fluidlines or even repromotes of old ones gone by? IE I wish I had Lithograph (grey), or Graphic Brown that ppl seem to rave about.

MAC, if you listen to us bimbos, GIVE US MORE FLUIDLINES!~ Mineralized stuff is another fave of mine, but I want more of your creamy liners!!!! I'd like a deep cherry/brown almost burgundy shimmery liner if you are taking requests

 

[clslvr6spd]

Well ladies....I am realllllyyyy sad. My fish have ICK. I just want to die, I noticed my angel was acting funny the other day so I asked my LFS (live fish store) to see what I needed to do. He said to do a 10% water change, I did that & it stressed the Angel out more, so now he as ICK. It is contageous to my other fish and I am freaking out that my puffer, Scooter will get it (he is my buddy). I am going to the LFS in a couple hours to get some stuff and yell at the guy, lol.
They are all eating which is a great sign. I caught this right when it happened which is good also. AGH!! I was crying my eyes out last night. I am sure I am a dork for crying over fish, but I love all animals to death & the fact that I "caused" this makes me feel even worse.

I know I will get through this, I knew coming into this hobby that there is a chance of this shit happening.
I also knew I should have set up a hospital tank when I started, but its too late to run out and get all of it now & I can't rush the cycling process, since that will kill the fish.
Just pray for my little fisheys!!!!

 

[gigglegirl]

oh wow, i've heard how sensitive fish are, i am totally sending you good vibes

i hope they get better!!

A burgundy fluidline would rock! I have Graphic Brown, don't love it. It's a really nice brown, i just find it doesn't go on as well as some of the others.

Awww, i hope they get better. I know my fishies got ick once, and I'm pretty sure most of them got better after being treated. But don't blame yourself, seriously. It's not your fault, it's just one of those things.

 

[purrtykitty]

Congrats Rebecca!!

You'll always remember your first car - such a huge milestone! Plus, nothing better than buying something like that which you paid for all on your own!

I hope your fishies feel better clslvr6spd.

Poor fishies.

Hannah, the mineralize swatches are up!

[gigglegirl]

They're all really pretty and unique colors (uh-oh, am I becoming a pusher?!

). The nude side of Bright Side/Gallery Gal is like the *perfect* nude. Just a hint of peach and plenty of tasteful shimmer. Definitely a far cry from the glitter bombs we're used to. The brown side of Illusionary/Burning Ambition is really dark, but very pretty. I've not seen anything like it from MAC. The golden side does remind me a bit of Solar White, but more gold and a much better texture. The texture of these are soooo nice compared to the MES now - even better than Earthly Riches, which I thought was the nicest - read: less glitter bomb-y - of the Antiquitease MES duos. And the Flashtronic duos are a joke compared to these. I don't know how the new ones are, yet, but they just don't look as nice when I see the swatches and pictures.

Whew, apparently I had a lot to say!

 

[clslvr6spd]

Thanks girlies!

Sometimes I don't know what I would do without this community! I love you all!
I am just happy I caught it early. Right now I am going to my CCO to get my mind of things, plus my LFS doesn't open until 11, boo!

 

[gigglegirl]

lol *adds Karin/purrty to the enabler list* I do love MES (antiquitease forsure, my first ones from flashtronic do not get love from me. at all. glitter. not REALLY screaming professional for me at work. maybe eventually but not for now)

I think we'll need to start an enabler role call. LOL we are bimbos + enablers + shoe lovers (goes without saying I think)...hmmm what else?! I think I need a longer signature!

i totally agree with you clslvr, this community and ESPECIALLY (for me at least) bimbo thread is just such a haven to come and chat about anything on my mind, not just makeup! *hugs*
